CONFIDENCE GENTLEMAN.

Friday evening well dressed important
looking lad walked into the Exchange Oh
North Main He enGuired very earnestly
about prices AMI seemed to take a good deal
of interest in the leading topic OF discussion.
Ia circulating among the crowd he finally
met gentleman from Kentucky. When he
had learned bis native state words were not
strong enough to express his admiration for
Keutucky's fair ladies, nice horses and tine
whisky was soon after mentioned. He was
exceedingly clever 10 the Kentucky gentle
men and finally forgot 10 enquire for real
estate and suggested that they go up the
stree. for O smoke. The offer accepted and
the two started north on Main. The COM
panion noticed that the leader was not desir-
Gus of incr a5ing the trade Of the neighbor-
ing sugar stands SIS he kept very busy
talking about Kentucky. The &C
ton aroused suspicion and the
guest concluded that he would see
confidence gentleman to his den. The leader
finally started up stairway on the east side
of Main between First and Second streets
He was closely followed. Near the east end
OF the hallway door was opened and a
gambling room entered. 4 number of toushs
were in an adjoining room which hal joint
accommodations 4 glass of beer was offered
and accepted with the fear that it was
loalcd
Soon after the leader proposed a game for
81. but this was received with hesitation
Another glass OF beer was offered and no dis
senting voice The imagined victim took
his glass Of beer and suddenly upset tie glass
aaS threw il at the confidence gent. He was
struck on the side OF tha head ard fell TO the
floor. While the falling was in process the

BOB


Another large audience assembled in tie
opera house last night to witness the per-
Torrance Bob" presented by the vivacious
Patti Rosa aud her excellent company.
Bob" is much the stronger of the two
plays of Patti Rosa's repertoire; stronger in
interest and stronger in itself TO give scope
to the ability the company possess. 1t is an
easy matter to tell why Zip" is the opening
bill-its sensational situations and rather
rough exterior caters to the taste of an audi
erce of not sufficient refinement to appreci-
ate Bob" The management undoubtedly
thought Wichita frontier town, hence put
up that which they thought would please
the best. In this they were sadly mistaken,
as, had the plays been transposed, the mum
Der of attendants would not have been any
the less. This is not disparagenient to
Zip" it's laudatory TO Bob"
In Bob the company has an opportunity
to show its strength. Patti Rosa as Bob
is success. Her conception of the charac-
ter is correct and her acting almost faultless
Her musical abilities, coupled with the dane
ing, compounds the true term versatility
The II. Victor Dulpnis of John ". Dunno
was artistic in the extreme
Brof. D. Sharp, in the hands of Mr.. Rich
ard Carroll, was excellently well rendered
The few minutes and few lines allotted
Mr.. T. II. McGrath, as Janson Garnet, were
sufficient to demonstrate beyond the ques-
ton of doubt that he is to the manor born
In short, the entire company were far
better suited to ''Bob' than to Zip ard
displayed ability that Friday night lay dor

THE OPERA OF PATIENCE
iRehersals for the opera of Patience that is
to be produced here March End, under the
auspices of the Lotus Quartette, are pro-
crossing finely. Although this opera is very
little known here, it has been a great success
in New York and Boston, many claiming it
to be Gilbert & S;ulivan's best effort par
ticularly as from musical stand point The
cast, which will be given at an early date
comprises the best musicians of our city, as
sisted by Lillian Brown, who is to assume the
title role, in which she is said throughout the
east to have no equal. The costuming will
be exquisits and correct in every particular,
and the opera will be given in its entirety
with every detail as presented by D-Ogly
Curtis original company. "The Mikado"
will also be reproduced with las far as posi-
bie) the same cast that met such unqualified
favor here about year ago.

The road up Croy gulch to Camas

still unbroken. Teams from Camas
Prairie are therefore compelled to
come via Bellevue.
Lewis N. Lisle having sold out his
ranch, about 81 miles west of Soldier,
will open a'dairy on the Gold Belt,
early in the spring, and develop his
mine interests on that Belt. Mr.. Lisle
will endeavor to supply all the butter,
milk and eggs needed on the Belt, as
he thinks that, If he succeeds in doing
so he will realize fortune.
A second minister of the Gospel

There are five public schools on
Camas Prairie, to- wit: two at Soldier,
one at Corral, one at Crichton, and
one on the Malad. Several children
from the three outside districts attend
the main Soldier school, as the school,
house is roomier and the teacher sup
posed to be ADLER than in the other
districts. The roads leading to Sol.
der are also better than those else
where on the Prairie.

which means calm and speedy death
would be insured.

THE TRAINS.
They Run Quite Regularly, Considering
the Distractions to Travel.

The train finally got through the
cut at Tikura, last evening, in time to
reach HALEY at l1:05. 1t then went
on to Ketchum, and, nothing unfore-
seen having detained it, returned to
HALEY in time to leave for Shcshone
at LAO o'clock this morning. Reach
ing Shoshone about 4:30 a. n., the
crews of the snow.plow and regular
trains went to bed to get few hours
of much-needed rest, after their 20
hours OF exhausting labors in fighting
the cold and snow. About IL O'Clock
this morning the train LEFT Shoshone
on lis round trip up the Wood River
valley and back, and reached HALEY,
north bound, at 2:45 o'clock this after.
noon.

English Rain. Watchers.

A quarter of century ago Mr.. G.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
What Constitutes q Valid Mining Lo.
cation.


The United States Supreme Court,
in q recent decision, insists that to
make valid mining location the
boundary side and end lines must be
distinctly marked on the surface, and
they must govern in any contest with
junior location.
The Court says: "If the first locator
will not or oannot make the explora.
tons necessary to ascertain the true
course of the vein, and draws his lines
ignorantly, he must bear the conse-
quences. He can only assert lateral
right to SO much of his vein as lies
between the vertical planes drawn
through those lines. Junior locators
will not be prejudiced thereby, though
subsequent explorations may show
that he has erred in his location"
Locators will perceive the necessity
of sufficiently exploring the discov-
cred vein before making final mark.
ing Of the boundaries of the claim
1t may appear upon snch exploration
that the end lines as first fixed may
prove to be the side lines as the vein
actually runs. If the adjoining ground
has been claimed, there is no help for
the first claimant, and the width of
his claim as located may become the
length when the true course of the
vein is found.

Reckless Extrayagance.

At a hotel in Norwalk, Connect
cut, recently, a sleighing party of 40
reckless New Englanders stayed for
two hours. They monopolized the
house, danced, aud showed unmistak
able indications Of being out for q
time, regardless Of expense. When
they departed, the landlord figured up
the receipts Of the evening, which he
found amounted to 10 cents. The two
nickels were carefully chained up,
and word was sent to the railroad
offices to prepare for accommodating
a cut rate excursion to California.

Money Vegetation.

1t seems odd to thiuk Of a we'll
filled purse AS plant-feld, but suoh
it appears to he. A short time since
Paul Reinsch discovered several kinds
of minute plants-including two alge
which had before been unknown
growing upon coins after having been
long enough in circulation to receive
thin incrustations of organic matter
A Hungarian betanist, Jules Schaar
schmidt, has more recently been ex-
aiming paper money, and has found
the microscopic growth upon even the
cleanest specimens. He has detected
seven species, including - although
they are rare-the two new alge de.
scribed by Reinsch.
